A study funded by the National Institutes of Health that looked to develop an app to use exercise to reduce marijuana dependency in young adults ended Tuesday.

 

NIH, through its National Institute on Drug Abuse, awarded a $357,750 grant to State University of New York at Buffalo for the project "Use of Exercise to Reduce Young Adult Marijuana Use: There is an App for That." The grant started on July 1, 2013, and ended June 30. The funds, which began to flow on July 1, 2014, also expired.

so anyone want to bet that the app just asks the person to exercize at a few minutes after 4pm?

 

"it works! they werent able to smoke at 4:20, we did it!" lol.

maybe if they just told the truth about marijuana then people could make their own minds up huh?
